Students and staff are loud and have a blatant disregard for the local residents. Maybe they should teach manners as well as English.

I have been in Cambridge for two weeks this summer and it was a beautiful experience. The school as well as the accommodation was really nice, the perfect place to learn English. In case of problems or questions , the teachers as well as all other staff was always there for help. Everything, for example excursions or the activities, were organized perfectly. In summary my stay in Cambridge was a wonderful experience which really improved my language skills and I would recommend The Cambridge Centre for Languages to everybody.

I spent two weeks in Cambridge. I had a wonderful single room; furnished with everything I needed. Since our teachers were very nice we spoke a lot with them. This has improved our pronunciation and vocabulary. I made many friends with kids from other countries. In the afternoon after class we had certain activities we participated in. For example, we went into the city and visited colleges and museums. At the weekend we visited London and Brighton. In summary, my stay in Cambridge was a wonderful experience.
